Yes, assuming a later vanagon since I'm not sure what yours is.  Bleeder
valve is located on the slave cylinder--access it from the top of the engine
compartment, driver's side.  Reservoir for fluid is behind the speedo/tach
cluster.  It is impossible to introduce air into the brake system if you get
too low, so don't worry.  But you'll want to keep the reservoir topped off
with dot 4 brake fluid as you bleed.  You will need to pump the clutch pedal
vigorously to get bubbles to move.
